Data-Driven Mathematics Investigations on "Curved Data"
Bosse, Michael J.
Mathematics Teacher, v99 n1 p46-54 Aug 2005
Modeling data behavior is differentiated from statistically determining a best-fit regression function, as it allows students to develop functions that hold certain attributes in respect to a set of data. Three techniques for developing polynomial models are demonstrated that afford students optional methods for determining appropriate polynomial models for curved data.
